Artistic photo of a doll's face with dramatic blue and orange lighting, giving a surreal, vibrant look against a muted pink background.

Dolls with no little girls around to mind them were sort of creepy under any conditions.

Doll face.

This is the sort of stuff that nightmares are made of.

I don’t know about the backstory, but in our basement, my father displayed this antique doll face remnant on a small stand. Second to the ‘Slappy the Dummy’ marionette my father picked up at a garage sale, this thing creeped me out as a kid.

I experimented with some studio lights and a black light to create some different light effects.
